IN your Wednesday Racing Post Preview page 5 Willie Mullins had this to say about Bellshill. “Patrick has picked Bellshill from the five we run in the Attheraces.com Champion Bumper (6.05) he bounced back from a moderate effort at Cheltenham to finish a good second at Aintree, but after two trips to England he’ll need to be at the top of his game for what looks a very competitive race. “ Yes, yes, yes, well done, looks like Bellshill likes to race in Ireland better than England.
